There is much to experience in the Discovery Islands, especially when it comes to wildlife. Bald eagles and sea birds swoop to pluck fish from whirlpools. Steller sea lions, Dall’s porpoises and Pacific white-sided dolphins frolic and feed. Come summer, killer whales frequent the channels surrounding Sonora Island, and their humpback, grey and minke cousins sometimes pass through too.

Capable of carrying 12 guests and reaching speeds of 40 knots, our open-air, 28-foot Eagle Master boat is equipped with a hydrophone and headphones for hearing whale songs and undersea sounds, as well the informative narration provided by our wilderness guides.

This excursion is a favourite of photographers and nature lovers looking to savour the sights and stillness of Sonora’s setting.
